Review of The Neon Demon (2016) by Jennifer H — 19 Jun 2016

This is a sick, misogynistic stew of ugliness disguised as an art film. Lowlights include a rape of a 13 year old girl, an assault on a 16 year old girl and a woman raping another woman's corpse. Add in heavy handed "predator v.

prey" symbolism, painfully inept performances and poor editing and this is a painful view. The soundtrack is phenomenal and there are some gorgeous visuals. The negatives far outweigh the few watchable moments.
